| Photoshop | `\Presets\Scripts` within the Application folder                 |
| InDesign  | Windows > Utilities > Scripts, click `☰` > "Reveal in Explorer" |

:::note CEP usage

The ExtendScript build should be used when performing spreadsheet operations
from the host context (within a `jsx` script file).

[The standalone scripts](/docs/getting-started/installation/standalone) should
be added to CEP extension HTML.
